Modern Light Textile Industry Chain Of Xinxiang Economic Development Zone From "One Silk" To "One Piece Of Clothing"

Xinxiang Economic and Technological Development Zone takes expanding the depth and breadth of high-end textile industry chain as an important measure to promote high-quality development. Especially since the establishment of Henan Modern Light Textile Industry Alliance last year, driven by the chairman unit Xinxiang Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd., various textile enterprises have made efforts by "chain" layout, "chain" agglomeration and "chain", Realized the leap from "one silk" to the whole textile industry chain.

Can bark also be made into clothes? At the China Textile Academy Green Fiber Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Green Fiber Company") located in Xinxiang Economic Development Zone, cotton, hemp, trees, bamboo, wheat straw and other plant plants can be extracted into silky green fiber after special treatment, and become an important raw material for high-end facial masks, home textiles, and clothing.

Green Fiber Company is the first Lyocell fiber manufacturer with completely independent intellectual property rights in China, which is jointly established by China General Technology (Group) China Textile Science Research Institute and Xinxiang Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. At present, Green Fiber has built several Lyocell fiber production lines in Xinxiang, with an annual production capacity of 90000 tons, ranking second in the world. Its products occupy 35% of the domestic market, ranking first in China.

The high-tech textile and clothing industry is the leading industry of Xinxiang Economic Development Zone, and also the five traditional pillar industries of Xinxiang City. Xinxiang Chemical Fiber, a leading enterprise in the industry, is one of the earliest renewable cellulose fiber enterprises in China. The company has been constantly pioneering and innovating, with an annual output of 120000 tons of renewable cellulose filaments and 220000 tons of spandex, firmly ranking "C" in the industry. Its products have been widely used in downstream enterprises in the textile industry chain.

It is understood that although various products of Xinxiang Chemical Fiber and Lyocell fiber produced by Green Fiber Company have the advantages of front-end products, the supporting spinning, weaving and dyeing processes and technologies are relatively lagging behind, which has become a "barrier" to the development of enterprises and industries. A single tree does not make a forest, and a single thread does not make a line. How to improve the industrial chain pattern of "large in the front, small in the back, weak in the middle" and enhance the tenacity of the textile industry chain?

Xinxiang Economic Development Zone has anchored the idea of "strengthening and optimizing green textile materials, and making the textile industry chain more comprehensive and deeper", and created a set of "combination boxing". It has planned and designed a green fiber professional park with an area of 10.47 square kilometers, giving full play to the leading advantages of green fiber companies and Xinxiang Chemical Fiber, expanding platform support, improving functional support, strengthening chain investment attraction, and constantly extending, supplementing Strong chain.

The textile industry capacity of Zhejiang Shaoxing Keqiao Economic Development Zone accounts for about 1/3 of that of the whole country, and it has the largest professional textile market in Asia. Xinxiang Economic and Technological Development Zone and Keqiao Economic and Technological Development Zone take the initiative to connect, go to Keqiao for many times to carry out promotion and investment promotion activities, and many projects take the initiative to seek "docking" into the chain. The "Green Printing Town" jointly built by the two sides with a joint investment of 5 billion yuan is planned to settle in 3 green printing enterprises this year.

Xinxiang Feilu Textile Technology Co., Ltd., relying on Shanghai Changsheng's cold transfer technology, pioneered the waterless normal temperature dyeing technology "cooltrans", produced high-end printed fabric products and became adidas T2 supplier.

In 2023, more than 20 grand events in the textile industry will be held in Xinxiang: there will be a production and marketing docking conference covering both upstream and downstream to help enterprises expand the market; There are also exchange conferences specially invited yarn and fabric enterprises to promote the application of Lyocell fiber in spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing and other fields; There are also seminars held by joint societies, associations and colleges and universities to discuss the latest technological achievements of new textile materials. Through intensive industrial docking, enterprises in different links of the industrial chain carry out negotiations and cooperation. Guangdong Dingye Ecological Industry Co., Ltd., Hebei Zhongji Wanlong Textile Co., Ltd. and other enterprises from all over the country entered the chain, and the project settled in Xinxiang Economic Development Zone, gradually growing.

At the same time of "inviting friends and partners", the chain owner enterprises are also constantly pursuing self-improvement and self innovation to improve their core competitiveness. Xinxiang Chemical Fiber has broken through the technical bottleneck of straw fiber pulping, and has successively launched new green, sustainable, healthy and comfortable fiber materials such as straw fiber, ionic liquid regenerated cellulose fiber, which has broadened the source of cellulose raw materials and enhanced the independent and controllable ability of the industrial chain supply chain.

Zhongyuan Branch of China Textile Academy has built the country's first "green fiber application innovation center", has more than 60 invention patents, broke foreign technology monopoly, and won the first prize of "Textile Light" scientific and technological progress award. Relevant enterprises take advantage of green fiber raw materials to actively extend to downstream industrial chains such as non-woven fabrics, disinfected wipes, Tencel fabrics, etc.

Now, Xinxiang Economic Development Zone has gathered more than 50 related enterprises of all kinds, as well as more than 10 R&D platforms such as Zhongyuan Branch of China National Textile Institute, Egret New Material Research Institute, and Xinxiang Tianbao Special Protective Clothing Research Institute. The whole industry chain supporting system of "man-made fiber spinning weaving printing and dyeing clothing" has been initially formed, with 110 related products.

Piloting, cooperation and sharing, the story of "chain owner" enterprises' strong siphon effect of chain extension and chain reinforcement is far from finished. At present, Henan Guanglian Clothing Co., Ltd. has invested 100 million yuan in the computerized flat knitting machine sweater processing project, Hangzhou Jialilian Clothing Co., Ltd. has invested 1 billion yuan in the knitting sweater industry cluster project, Zhengzhou Zhongyuan Spandex Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. has invested 600 million yuan in the annual production of 100 sets of textile equipment project, and other projects are speeding up their implementation.

Cultivating and strengthening the industrial chain not only depends on market promotion and strategic guidance, but also depends on the support of policies and services. Xinxiang Economic Development Zone has participated in the establishment of the innovation and entrepreneurship development fund of Zhengluoxin National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone with a scale of 1 billion yuan, initiated the establishment of Henan Modern Light Textile Industry Alliance, promoted the development mode of "industrial park+innovation incubator+industrial fund+industrial alliance", and made the "chain length system" more refined, practical and specialized.

From "one piece of silk" to "one piece of cloth" and then to "one piece of clothing", more and more "Xinxiang Made" exhibitions are now in front of everyone in the future.

"Leading enterprises are the backbone of the industrial chain. What we need to do is to give full play to the role of Xinxiang Chemical Fiber and Green Fiber Company as" chain owners "and plan the entire industrial chain with advanced thinking." Liu Wenjun, director of the Management Committee of Xinxiang Economic Development Zone, said that as one of the "main fronts" of the province's modern textile industry, the whole district will practice the working mechanism of "immediately handling road office", We will spare no effort to serve more major projects accurately into the chain, and strive to break through 20 billion yuan of operating revenue in the textile and clothing industry by 2025, with an average annual growth rate of 12%.
